Also 2000 euro here at Kamera-Express. I would never buy this camera because of the fixed screen. For me this is a turning point as a long time Pentax user. As Ricoh is looking for a partner with Pentax, I'll search for my crystal ball. I like an APS-C camera besides FF because of the longer

Sad that my first thought is of inhospitality, when I suspect most of the denizens of these places probably pride themselves on the opposite. It just shows what the effect of a few loonys can have on an area's reputation. Or it demonstrates my inability to think beyond the stereotype. > On 31

Rereading the photographers comments in the BBC article I see that he deliberately left off locations "Freeman prefers not to disclose the location of each shot so that the photographs portray a "generic" vision and representation of small-town America."  I think that is bull hockey,

My longstanding practice has been to wait at least a year before buying a new camera model. The bugs get ironed out, features get tweaked, and prices usually drop. I really like my K-5, so am in no hurry. Rick On Wed, Mar 31, 2021 at 11:52 Ralf R Radermacher wrote: > Am 31.03.21 um 17:08

It seems to address every criticism of the K3II except for a lack of a tilt screen, so of course everyone is going to dump on it. As I'm not currently the target market, more or less perfectly happy with my current kit, all I see is a much improved APS-c, DSLR, and as I like DSLRs more than

Re: DP initial review of K-3 III

Having no first hand knowledge here is my assessment. Just due to the sensor being several Moore’s cycles newer than that K-3 or K-1, its raw performance will exceed even that of the K-1. However, since the days of the K-5 sensor performance has been to the point that in anything but the most

Re: OT some of you already know..

Second jab is rough. The soreness is not from arm tension, it’s from your still-energetic immune system mobilizing. That’s good! I had the same symptoms without the fever after jab 2. They’re very common, particularly in younger folks than you. Rick On Wed, Mar 31, 2021 at 17:34 ann sanfedele

Good to hear you've gotten through it! I've had both shots (Moderna) and got lucky, I guess ... No reactions at all, other than the usual 'sore shoulder' I always get with any injection. The second shot with either Pfizer or Moderna has show a huge number of different levels of reactions, it
